On the Fat Chance... (Meme)

...that I am ever canonized...

I hope my loved ones will be able to come up with better photos than I was able to do. But for now I have to rely on these two. I am too lazy busy to scan better ones of me.

Well, anyway, I am jumping the gun. That oh so amusing Karen has tagged me for this unusual meme. "what picture I would use for my holy card, should I make it to saint, and of what cause(s) I wanted to be patroness."

little me
I guess this one of me as a little girl would be my first choice because I look angelic (she says as she rolls her eyes) and we all know saints are holy and perfect ;-)

This one below would be my second choice. This is a photo of me with my faithful companion, my dog. This dog who loves me more than anyone in this world. That is unless you are the person holding a treat. I would like to join St. Martin de Porres and St. Francis of Assisi and be the patron saint of animals. After all the stray dogs, cats, birds, turtles and a skunk, that I have rescued. It is the least the Vatican can do. LOL. Just kidding. But I do love animals that much.

Realistically, I would probably be named the patron saint of impatient moms and wives. Just ask my DS or DH. Even our bishop once called me on that. I asked DH to kiss the bishop's ring and the bishop replied.."yeah Dan, hurry up and after you're finished, I want you to do the dishes, mop the floor". He was kidding folks!

Let's see, I think I will tag the following seven:

Kimberly

Mary B

Cy

Jean

Happy Hearts at Home

Hahaha... oh Esther, that is hilarious! Was that Bishop Larry you mentioned? I can picture Bishop Larry and Bishop DiLorenzo saying it... so funny!

Love and hugs to you! :-)

Mary B said...

I soon as I read the headline I knoew you would tag me! I'll try but I don't have a scanner for old pics.

But you DO look angelic!

Mary B said...

Ok- The moment I thought I'd just take a quick picture of my messy desk and coffee mug and try to be patron of overscheduled, highly caffeinated, techno-moms the 7 year old brought me the camara: it had been dropped and broken!
I guess someone else will have that spot!

Mimi said...

I love the photo of you as a child. What a humbling idea to even contemplate, yikes!

Evann said...

Thanks for the tag, Esther! Crazy!! I posted my pics. I don't look too saintly in the recent pic!

Esther (joeysmom) said...

Easter, no it was Bishop DiLorenzo :-)

Mary B: Too bad. Guess, someone was sending you a message, loud and clear.

Karen and Mimi: Thanks :-)

Evann, I look forward to reading yours.

Therese said...

Now this is a fun meme. I will get it up tonight. I have a great photo of me when I was younger. The tricky part will be finding it. Thanks for the tag Esther.

Alexandra said...

Oh dear, my Roboform(instant password filler) copied a message it saved for another post on another blog! Esther, just delete that one. How weird. Let's try this again...

Here's your message, LOL:

This is a cute meme. I'll have to think about this one! Thanks fro the tag. :)

Cy said...
